Diigo or Delicious
After looking at both of the sites, I would take Diigo over Delicious. I liked some of the tagging and sharing simplicities od Delicious, but for overall tools, like hightlighting and boxing, and the android ability, I would pick Diigo. With the highlighting tool, boxing tool, and text/ comments tool, it would make it better for school. You could share the links with your class and point out specific material that you would the students to focus on within the website.. I mentioned this in someone elses blog, but if anyone knows of a way to do a mass dump from your PC favorites, to Diigo, let me know. That in itself would be a days work going one at a time..

My google account lets me import or dump from Delicious but not the other way around and not from Diigo. Kinda annoying...
ReplyDeleteThe tools you mentioned would definitely be helpful in a classroom setting. I hadn't thought about that. Thanks for the great idea!
ReplyDeleteIn Diigo, it you go to tools, then click on more tools, you will see the import and export options, so you can bring in bookmarks from any browser to use in Diigo. I am assuming that maybe you are using IE on your PC, following instructions for exporting your bookmarks and then import them into where ever you want to put them.
ReplyDeleteI used the bookmarks manager to "clean up and organize" my bookmarks before I brought them into the two online bookmarking programs.
I hope this helps. :)
I have not tried the boxing and highlighting tools. That is more thing for me to check out before I use cloud bookmarking while teaching in class. Thanks, Ken.
ReplyDeleteI had to do some digging to figure out how to export from firefox. Go into Bookmarks and choose organize bookmarks. In the window that opens, there should be an option to import/export.
ReplyDeleteDid Glenda's method work? Should. I dumped mine in one click.
